Services Offered

- Child-Parent Psychotherapy
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an intervention model for children aged 0-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event (e.g. maltreatment, the sudden or traumatic death of someone close, a serious accident, sexual abuse, exposure to domestic violence) and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The treatment is based in attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories. Therapeutic sessions include the child and parent or primary caregiver. The primary goal of CPP is to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child's cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning.

- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. Children and their caregivers are seen together in PCIT. Most of the session time is spent coaching caregivers in the application of specific therapy skills. Therapists typically coach from an observation room with a one-way mirror into the playroom, using a “bug-in-the-ear” system for communicating to the parents as they play with their child. Concluding each session, therapist and caregiver together decide which skill to focus on most during daily 5-minute home practice sessions the following week.

- Youth Outpatient Programs and Services
Our Outpatient Therapy (OPT) provides services to youth ages 7 through 17, and their families by Master's level Therapists who are supervised by independently licensed clinicians. Touchstone's Therapists are trained and supervised in a trauma informed approach. Individual therapy may be provided but clinicians begin with a family centered and family focused approach to assist the child in the natural environment. We utilize best practice interventions such as:
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Sand Tray Therapy
- Gottman Couples Therapy Method

We also provide group therapy and parenting training. Our services are offered in office, home, and in school. Many of the clinicians are Spanish speaking. Language assistance is provided if necessary.

- Behavior Analytic Services
Touchstone Health Services Behavior Analytic Services programs provide evidence-based assessment and treatment grounded in the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Specifically, our expertise focuses on individuals with developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorders who display skill deficits and/or problem behaviors.
